What a tantalizingly philosophical sci-fi read. It’s not really my kind of book. There are some thought provoking moments that reflect on entertainment, and the way we perceive and take enjoyment from paltry things. It is also steeped in moral and self-conflict with the main character and androids. If also portrays a seemingly “stupid” future generation, but if you really take a look at the way we react, live, treat each other, and obsess over meaningless things, you realize that we are not that much different from the people in this world, and that may be depressing to some. I really enjoyed how the main characters thoughts would flow like actual thoughts do, sometimes completely at random, it made the main character seem so real.
